Whose Agenda Is It?

Dearly beloved, many don’t believe there are any spiritual kingdoms. Too many Christians only know of one of them. God reveals in His Word that there are two spiritual kingdoms: the kingdom of the One True God, and the kingdom of this world, which is under the dominion of the god of this world, our adversary. Each kingdom an agenda.

The Lord Jesus Christ made entrance into the kingdom of God available by being born of God’s spirit. He gave his life as the last sacrifice for sin to fulfill the Word and Will of God. Every human being by natural birth is born dead in trespasses and sins. They are born without the spirit of God.

Jesus gave his life as the substitutionary Lamb of God that died in the place of the sinner. Adam's sin and the sinner’s sins were laid on him.

He regained the spirit of life that Adam lost the day he transgressed God’s commandment. The Lord Jesus Christ poured it out on the Feast of Weeks, also called the Feast of Pentecost since it was fifty days after Passover. It is the gift of holy spirit that gives us entrance into the kingdom of God. If a person does not have the spirit from God, the spirit that Christ made available, he is none of His.

When we confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead we will be saved; we receive the gift of holy spirit; we are born again. From that moment we are children of God; children by the birth of the holy spirit within us. We received the spirit of sonship, which is the spirit of Him that raised Christ from the dead. We received power from on high.

Adam not only died spiritually, he lost the dominion that God gave him over the world. When the Lord Jesus Christ comes to the earth again he will reclaim the dominion that Adam lost.
The devil offered him the power and the glory of this world if he would worship him, because it is his to give to whosoever he will. He holds the dominion of this world today.

This spirit is identified by different names to reveal his character, purposes, and ways. One of them is the god of this world, another Satan, another the devil, which means slanderer, etc.

The Lord Jesus Christ revealed who he was during his earthly ministry. He was a murderer from the beginning; he has the power of death. He is the father of lies; he was a liar from the beginning. He is the tempter, that tempts us to not believe the One True God. He is the thief that steals, kills, and destroys. He oppresses people by his wicked works.

He works to hinder God’s people and the outreach of God’s kingdom. He is the serpent that deceives the whole world with his lying words and deeds. He is the accuser of the sons of God, and he accuses God for what he actually does. Read the first two chapters of the book of Job.

God sent His Son, Jesus Christ - His SON - to declare who He, the FATHER is, and make known His will. God sent him to finish, accomplish, or complete the works that his FATHER gave him to do. He sent him as the Lamb of God to save and redeem His people. God enabled him with the power of the holy spirit, and he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was WITH him.

All of this and much more is revealed in the Word of God, the Bible, and yet how ignorant most Christians remain because no one taught them the Word of God, or they do not understand how to study it so that it makes sense and fits together, or once they know, they are apathetic.

If you think the race baiting politicians that petal hypocritical lies against their opponents are bad, just go, stand, and speak God’s Word and see what you are called.

If people are ignorant once God has revealed His Word and Will, we cannot blame God, can we? No.

God has revealed the answers we so desperately need today. He revealed them in His Word so we are not ignorant of the devices of our adversary the devil, yet people reject His solutions, labeling them antiquated, unintelligent, non-existent, too controversial, heresy, cultish, crazy, and on and on. After all, we are modern you know.

God gives all of His children the gift of holy spirit so He can lead and guide us. We are His kids.

Oh, no the devil says. How stupid; I've taken you so far with my lies. You've mentally evolved you know; we're so smart today. No, actually people have devolved to where we embrace the serpent’s lies and arrogantly reject the truth of God. Satan adapts his agenda in each generation in an effort to conceal himself. He works in darkness.

Whenever we see events in the world, we should look at them through the lens of the Word of God, and allow the light of His Word expose what is going on.

Take the latest school shooting for example. Normal people don’t murder people; it is caused by a devil spirit. A new law will not overcome it, unless it is an automatic death sentence for the murderer.

Oh no, it is a mental problem. No, it is a devil spirit problem. Anyone who murders has a mental problem.

It is not a gun problem, a murderer can murder with a car, a knife, a gun, his fists, poison; anything that will help the person possessed with this spirit murder.

People talk about morality; the definition of the word means to conduct yourself in light of the Word of God. They seem to have missed the definition in Webster's dictionary, and much earlier, what God revealed in His Word.

The One True God doesn’t use or possess people; the devil does. He influences people through circumstances and situations. He teaches his lies as though they are the truth so that a person embraces them as their way of thinking.

Once the person believes him and his thinking processes are corrupted, the person’s mind is open for the adversary and he can use the person to carry out his purposes. He can either influence that person, or he can have one of his devil spirits possess the person to do his will.

Day after day, the newspapers, the cable news channels, the network news, the talk shows, the movies, and every other media push the so-called god of this world's agenda. It is earthly, sensual, and devilish. Everyone is familiar with it.

The god of this world feeds them his ideas and they perpetuate them with such enthusiastic, "moral" humanism. They do not provide the wisdom from above that the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ declares.

Answers are available for anyone who will believe them. Yes, there are two agendas, but he that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. In Christ, God made us more than conquerors, and I am persuaded that nothing in life or death, no devil spirit or spiritual power, nothing in the realm of time, nothing in the realm of space, NOTHING, will ever be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ would have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. The god of this world kills, steals, and destroys. Jesus Christ came so that we might have spiritual life and have it more abundantly.

Wake up, and if you are awake let your light shine brightly so that others can wake up, dearly beloved. Speak the truth in love and do the things that please your Father; carry out His agenda by the power of the holy spirit so that others might be delivered and saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Pray that the Lord of the harvest sends laborers who will not only know, but who will do the Father's will and carry out His agenda, dearly beloved.
